C Jr. Chiefs win championship in overtime

The Falcons' offense, consisting of quarterback Joe Lisella,
backs Matthew Freda, Michael Cimilluca, John Gareffa, linemen
Anthony Leone, Eddie Murphy, Billy Pepe, Anthony Cicchetti, Brandon
Convery, John Locascio, Dominic Valeriani and end PJ Castiglia
controlled the line of scrimmage for the first half; and the
defense, led by Locascio, Cimilluca and Freda stopped the Jr.
Chiefs' on their first possession by forcing a punt.

The Falcons first possession began on their own 42. On a 19
play, 58 yard drive, the Falcons took a 6-0 lead. Half back Freda
converted two 4th downs to continue the drive, and then punched it
in from the 3 for the Falcons' touchdown.

On the Jr. Chiefs' next possession, Paul Cafone, Robert Pezzuti,
Castiglia and Locascio forced another punt and the Falcons began
their next possession on their own 30-yard line.

Again the Falcons line of Leone, Convery, Locascio, B. Pepe,
Cicchetti, Murphy, Valeriani and Castiglia opened holes for Freda,
Cimilluca and Gareffa. Quarterback Lisella also connected with
Castiglia for a good gain and moved the ball into Chiefs'
territory, but Jr. Chief Andrew Kratsch intercepted a Fairfield
pass at the 8-yard line to halt the Falcons' drive and end the
first half.

The Jr. Chiefs' defense, led by Jeremy Kaufman, David Pepe and
Chris Eucker, stopped the Falcons first drive in the second half
and forced a punt. The Jr. Chief s then put together a six-play
drive that resulted in a 40 yard touchdown run by Richard Lavorato.
The extra point was stopped, but the game was tied at 6.

After Cicchetti received the Jr. Chiefs kickoff, the Falcons
took over at their own 45.

Another Falcons' drive moved the ball into Jr. Chiefs'
territory. Big gains from Cimilluca and Freda behind blocks from
Leone, Valeriani, Locascio and B. Pepe moved the ball to the Jr.
Chiefs 25, but the drive stalled there as several penal ties and
tough Jr. Chiefs defense stopped the Falcons on downs to give the
Jr. Chiefs the ball on their own 20.

In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor.
